Open Document Format processing modules
The odt transformation creates a binary file using the OASIS Open Document Format.
The odt transformation begins with pre-processing. It then runs either the
dita.odt.package.topic or dita.odt.package.map target, depending
on whether the input to the transformation is a DITA topic or a DITA map. The following description
focuses on the map process, which is made up of the following targets:
- dita.map.odt
- Converts the map into a merged XML file using the Java-based topicmerge module. Then an XSLT process converts the merged file into the content.xml file.
- dita.map.odt.stylesfile
- Reads the input DITA map, and then uses XSLT to create a styles.xml file in the temporary directory.
- dita.out.odt.manifest.file
- Creates the manifest.xml file
Once these targets have run, the generated files are zipped up together with other required files to create the output ODT file.
